Cheap Flights to South Ockendon from HK$2,337

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in South Ockendon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out South Ockendon, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
